Who we are

We believe...

that buying healthy meat should be easy, and that eating
healthy shouldn’t mean compromising your eating enjoyment. Those
beliefs unite everything we do in our singular commitment to
provide you with delicious, organic, ethically raised meat that
you can feel good about buying and eating.

Our Mission Statement

To ensure your food is produced the way
nature intended.

Co-Owner Tara in the news:

Interviewer: “You
seem very confident that The Healthy Butcher is the best butcher
shop around; that's a big statement.Why are
you so confident?”

Tara's Answer:

"That’s simple.Because
we sell what we say we sell and we do what we say we do.We don't mask anything in fancy marketing terms, and we
don't bait and switch.If a meat cut in our
store is labelled "Grassfed", you can rest assured that it is
100% Grassfed, and not the type of grassfed beef that's finished
on genetically modified grains and corn sprayed with pesticides
and fertilizers.If we say a cut is Organic,
it is legitimately Certified Organic, and not "like organic" as
many places will say when trying to convince you that what they
have is worth buying.Put it this way, if you
want a decent tasting steak, you can go to many shops.If you want a great tasting steak that was ethically
raised, and is healthy for you and the environment, you come to
The Healthy Butcher."

Our Meat

Our Farmers

No, we don’t own our own farm, nor do we
want to.We source only from farmers who are
passionate about producing the best meat.When we evaluate a farm to add to our offering, we leave no
stone unturned.We never turn a blind eye.Starting at the soil, our farms use biodynamic principles
– rotating crops and pasturing multiple species of animals – to
keep our land healthy.Our animals eat what
they were born to eat, not what our industrialized society has
dictated they eat.

The breeds are carefully selected to match the terroir of the farm. Processing happens a minimal distance from the farm, and at abattoirs that are best designed to minimize stress. We select from the best, and that’s what makes us great.

What makes our meat so great

The Healthy Butcher’s meat is nothing short of
legendary because it is nature’s expression of true gourmet.
It’s not easy to always do the right thing, the right way, every
time. But we’re passionate about our belief that ethically
raised, healthy, delicious meat is possible and affordable.
